Eyebrow tweezers and razors because my eyebrow area is very sensitive and I would rather deal with brows with stray hairs than cause myself pain. Makeup and stuff is supposed to be fun, and pain is not fun.Rikki Recently Posted: SHOW & TELL: Sugarpill Chromalust – Smitten

For me, these definitely include bronzers (although it can be argued that contours powders are interchangeable product types) and highlighters for every day use. I can understand using these for certain types of photo shoots, but with every day lighting and face-to-face interaction, they just seem too obvious, especially highlighters. And I’m including the Hourglass Ambient and NARS Crystal Powders in this category.

The same could be said for bright, pigmented blush, especially in shades like orange & coral.Blush is a “complexion” product, and should look therefore look as natural/seamless as foundation, but people still seem to like the “fun” shades. Who naturally “blushes” orange (or purple)…?

The key-word is “little”; I’m talking about vivid mandarin, bright orchid, etc… Yes, there are some people who wear them, and they look quite natural. Likewise, there are those who wear them and they are very obvious. I simply prefer “complexion” products to look natural, and not every shade will look natural on every skintone, whether it be a blush or a contour/highlight product.

The response was simply to point out that while the OP doesn’t think contours/highlights look “natural”, neither do many blush shades that are ever so popular, and that *I*, for *myself*, prefer all “complexion” products to look seamless & a part of the face. I wouldn’t personally wear a foundation that left a line of demarcation, but if others want to, that’s their prerogative…

I really hate using foundation and concealer. I have yet to find any that look good, so I just stick with BB creams and tinted moisturizer. I don’t need/like a lot of coverage anyway, so it works for me.
I also rarely use eyeliner, lip gloss, and bronzer (aside from contouring)

False eyelashes. Never worn them, don’t ever plan to. And red lipstick. 10 years of buying makeup and I have not found a single red lipstick that works on me.

It’s also rare that I wear eyeliner, even though I actually love eyeliner. But I’m fully blind in one eye thanks to a skateboarding incident in HS and it takes me a good 20 minutes to apply it evenly. Eyeliner has henceforth been strictly reserved for VERY special occasions! Lol
